One Kiri Mon tsuba to be sold at auction in the coming days in Paris....
-
Grey, it is interesting to have fixed a barrier at $ 1000 to distinguish two categories of Kodogu. The market is moving and apparently it seems that in the US under $1000 kodogu are not that valuable (or difficult to be sold) . In France, at auctions, this barrier is more or less the same as Tsuba estimated more or less in a range of € 500/600 are sold above € 1000. Do you think we have reached a point of having a global worldwide market ? Cheers Bruno

Please refer to one example sold at a French auction House in April this year:

tanto Translation For Kashira Signature - Ken
Kurikata replied to Kurikata's topic in Translation Assistance
Thank you -
Morita San and Curran, Thank you so much for the information. Obviously Shozui/Masayuki being a "big name" I had no doubt on the potential gimei. I'll try to find the paint/scroll from Toshinaka which has inspired this kozuka design. Thank you again Bruno

Can someone help, please ? Thank you
-
Hi, I do not know how to decipher this signature on a Kashira. The Tsuka is for a ken Thank you for your help Bruno

Pete, I would like to warmly thank you on this very precious information.....Once again your participation to this forum is an asset. Best regards Bruno

Thank you Marius for your comments. Can you give me the clues which drive to an late Edo Kozuka? Is it coming from the "fresh" gunome zogan on the fruits, the nanako patern, the shakudo color and texture, others .... ? Thank you any way for you advises which are always very instructive. Best regards Bruno

Hi, I just purchased this Kozuka this week. I guess it could be a shakudo Ko kinko Kozuka which has been repaired end of Edo with an additional silver and sentoku plates. What are you views in this ? Thank you in advance Bruno
-
Hello, Can someone translate the poem which is back the Kozuka? It is signed Masayuki. Is it Gimei ? Topic is Jurojin with his scroll, crane and tortoise. Thank your for your help. Bruno

New Acquisition Late Edo Period Tanto
Kurikata replied to DigsFossils-n-Knives's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Hi Henry, Mon on the saya is : Wisteria (Fuji, 藤) One of the Family using this Mon was the Fujiwara Clan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujiwara_clan Regards -
Jean, I have one in my collection. Very simple, with black lacquer but very late Edo or even beginning of 20th century to me.

Denis, Price looks quite in the right range. Just to confirm that shells, abalone or clams theme is not that unusual within the Kinai school, but not the way yours has been designed... Please refer to: http://jameelcentre.ashmolean.org/collection/7/10237/10354 Best regards

It is a very common echizen kinai tsuba........

Hello, Can someone gives me a clue on the 4th Kanjit : Ishiguro Masa?? + Kakihan Thank you

Michael, A lot of knives, spoon ans forks sets have been exported from Japan to Europe beginning of 20th century with handles copying both sides kozuka design. These handles are generally in plain Copper or shinchu with no inlays. Should you have pictures, it would confirm.
-
@ Geraint , it is absolutly true. The shinchu plate is incrustred into a large iron Mimi. This schinchu plate is cut itself to include a HoHo bird in iron. @Brian, Thank you for your so gentle comment. Cheers
